Sage100 Help states "When performing year-end processing, first close any module that transfers information to another
module. For example, Sales Order transfers information to Inventory Management, Accounts Receivable and General
Ledger. To close these modules, update all Sales Order journals and registers and perform Sales Order period-end
processing before closing the other modules."
"Some modules transfer and receive information from another module. For example, Job Cost can post invoices to
Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Receivable can post invoices to Job Cost. To close these modules, update all journals
and registers in both modules before performing period-end processing for either module."
Any module that has not been activated for this company can be skipped
*
Always make a full backup before performing period-end or year-end processing. Year-end processing can be reversed
only by restoring from a backup and an interrupted period end process can result in non-repairable data corruption.
